Banner Demon Tier List

Overview

• This List shows the relative strength of a Banner Demon and how/where it can be used. This is determined by many factors, such as objective strength and usage in Top 500 teams. For an animated chart of the most commonly used demons throughout the seasons, click here - credits to さらら!

Rating

• The PVP Tier List assumes all demons have all Panels unlocked, good brands, the best transfer skills and are rated based on the highest tier of Random-Match PVP (Top 100).
  • However a Tier List comparing demons solely in their Panel 0/1/2 forms would not be largely different from this one.

• 5★ PVP scores are defined as such
  • SS: SSpectacular (The central meta force. If you do not run this, you will lose most PvP battles.)
  • S: Supreme (Dominates PvP content. Expect to see at least one of these demons in most battles)
  • A: Amazing (Really good for their ability to compliment or counter Meta demons)
  • B: Beneficial (Usable with some teams but requires heavy investment or a whole team built around them to work well)
  • C: Could be better (Has a few niches but isn't stellar)
  • D: Disappointing (Only use this if you have nothing better)
  • F: Faulty (Actively useless)

• 5★ PVE scores are defined as such
  • S: Superior (Obliterates most PvE content)
  • A: Astonishing (Usable nigh anywhere and is kind of a staple or can completely trivialize a specific part of PvE)
  • B: Bretty Good (Usable for most things and has great defining elements)
  • C: Moderate (Is usable for a good chunk of content but is not the greatest)
  • D: Niche (Has uses few and far between)
  • F: Terrible (Hardly usable)

• 5★ Democalypse (the Guild vs Guild game mode) is not ranked, instead you should refer to the Democalypse page for a comprehensive Democalypse Tier List.

• NOTE: Demons are ranked alphabetically within their respective tiers.

What do the flags mean?

The flags below the Demon's portrait in the tier list show how they can be obtained.

• - Demon is Gacha only.
• - Demon is Banner Gacha only. You can only obtain this demon by pulling from their seasonal banners.
• - Demon is Event only. Nobody knows if they will be rerun.
